Highly Efficient MATLAB Batch File Renaming Program

Resource Overview

A robust MATLAB program for efficient batch file renaming operations with flexible customization options

Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB program is exceptionally useful for users who frequently need to modify file names. The implementation utilizes MATLAB's built-in file I/O functions and string manipulation capabilities to process multiple files simultaneously. Key functions include dir() for directory listing, movefile() for renaming operations, and various string functions like strcat() and sprintf() for name pattern generation. The program supports comprehensive renaming rules including prefix/suffix addition, pattern replacement, and sequential numbering through algorithmic processing of filename arrays. It efficiently handles file type filtering and error checking to ensure safe batch operations. For users requiring systematic file reorganization according to specific naming conventions, this program provides customizable rule-based renaming through configurable parameters. The code structure allows easy modification of renaming logic while maintaining processing efficiency through vectorized operations. If you regularly perform file renaming tasks, this MATLAB program offers an optimized solution worth implementing for your file management workflows.
